It’s summer and here in Pennsylvania, we’ve had some blazing hot days. And, in some of their recent videos, Linus Tech Tips has showcased blazing fast renderings while testing powerful GPUs using SOLIDWORKS Visualize.
No, I didn’t just write this article for the purpose of writing out that intro. But if I had, would you really blame me?
Our friends at Linus Tech Tips are back using SOLIDWORKS products to explore a topic I can assure you that SOLIDWORKS users like myself love to geek out over. Namely: GPUs! Last time we checked in with them on the SOLIDWORKS Blog, we talked about how Linus and SOLIDWORKS Champion Alex Clark were busy using SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation to perform transient analyses on cooling mods to an 8K camera.
This time, they’re using SOLIDWORKS Visualize – their go-to in this area – to test, at a side-by-side level, the relative power of several GPU configurations on different engineering laptops.
While these videos are hugely entertaining, I also want to note that there are many ways to ensure you’re working on a technically supported workstation configuration when it comes to SOLIDWORKS Visualize. One of the best ways is to check out this site, which contains recommended drivers for many popular cards from several manufacturers.
Stay cool, and stay rendering!
